Investing in Growth. Rooted in Humanity.
At the core of our teaching community is a shared belief: that practice does not end at the edge of the mat. It extends into how we serve, how we grow, and how we show up — both in the studio and in the world. The Teacher Scholarship Fund was created to support that belief in action.
This annual fund is designed to honor and uplift our teachers by providing financial support for continued education — whether within the movement and wellness sector or in the broader field of humanitarian service. It is one way we affirm our commitment to the twin pillars of growth and humanity that guide our work.
Who the Scholarship Supports
The fund is open to teachers who have been actively teaching with us for at least one full year, with at least one regular weekly class on the schedule from September 1 to September 1 of the current calendar cycle. It is intended for those who are both deeply engaged in our teaching community and committed to expanding their capacity to serve.
What the Scholarship Can Be Used For
Recipients may apply the scholarship toward two primary types of training:
Continuing education within the movement field, such as advanced yoga or Pilates trainings, specialty certifications, mentorship programs, or workshops that deepen knowledge and skill.
Humanitarian education or service-based training, such as the International Diploma in Humanitarian Assistance (IDHA) or similar programs that equip teachers to contribute meaningfully to global or community-based service efforts.
These two branches represent the foundation of our vision: personal mastery paired with social responsibility.

Why This Matters
This fund is not just an investment in professional development — it is an expression of our collective values. We believe in cultivating teachers who are technically strong, socially conscious, and spiritually grounded. We believe that investing in education — whether in the anatomy of movement or the architecture of social justice — ripples outward into every community our teachers touch.
This scholarship is one way we live our commitment to interdependence: lifting each other up, so we can go out and do the same for others.
